Jubilee 2025 - Pilgrims of Hope

In these days leading up to Easter and then in the weeks following Easter, the 50 days of the Paschal season up to Pentecost, use the opportunity if you need to, to shift things in your own life that are weighing down on you, that are troubling your conscience.

Use the opportunity to go to the sacrament of confession that’s readily available in all our parishes.”
